Every year we see the Patriots in the playoffs and more so than other teams repeating SB appearances. Football is a coaches game and some are better than others obviously, but what I notice is every year the Patriots cut players the rest of the league is surprised at and everyone says they can't repeat because of the D, or lackof talent at certain positions, or this or thaat player is down etc. What BB does is cut players, overpriced players, and star players before their production curve starts down the backside. Players are traded and replaced and some just not resigned. I beginning to believe that creates and maintains the hunger for SB appearances with the remaining players when mixed in with those newly signed. In other words each year the Patriots start our relatively new with a mix of veterans and newbies to their system and maintain the hunger to be the best and if they don't , they go.
The Giants on the other hand keep disgruntled players too long, overpay some players on the downside of the production cycle. The salary cap might not be an issue trading or releasing a few stars past their prime performing. Yeah loyatly is great, but as Buckwheat always said, "IT'S BIDNESS." JR and TC, clean out some fading stardust trade, cut, release, and overpriced under performers, Be a Belichek
Also I know wecould all name a few we'd like to see gone, but how many would trade a Tuck, or an Osi, release a Boley, and the too oft injured, and the Giants certainly have their share of them? BTW, I put all this in my resume's note section when I applied for the Giants' GM position at season end. Redog over and out

BB is a great coach and they know how to run things. He's a mastermind of the game. I also wouldn't trade up the way we do things just to mimic an organization that's had less overall sucess than us (3 lombardis compared to 4).

It will also be very soon to where the Patriots go back to the NFL Blitz days. What I mean by that is they'll be the NYJ of the AFC East very soon. Once Brady is gone and a couple key players, they won't be the same Patriots team that's dominated the decade.

They also play in a division that almost guarantees them 6 wins a season. After 2007 they had not one a playoff game until last year and then they lost the Super Bowl again. It's nice to be consistently in the playoffs, but the Giants have had a better 5 year span.

not taking anything away from BB, but let's please give a little credit to having the greatest QB who has every played the game, or at least a QB that will be considered in that conversation.

So yes, BB and the whole organization has done a great job, but it helps just a little bit to have a guy like brady.

this is true. they are alsways a solid team but i don't know if they are ever as good as their record indicates because that division is just awful and they get some cupcake schedules it seems. last year they didnt beat a team with a winning record until the AFC championship game which is ridiculous.

The Patriots' success is a perfect storm.

They play in a terrible division and they have dominated it for over a decade. The other three franchises have become dysfunctional jokes. It's essentially a guaranteed 6 wins.
They have Tom Brady.
They have Bill Belichick.

But yes, they are quite adept at getting bargains... They dump players with no ceremony when their time is up. They bring in nobodies and get good play out of them. They bring in washed up veterans for very little money who just want the chance for one last rodeo.

The Pats are an excellent regular season team. But in the playoffs, in order to win mutiple SB, you need a QB with ice in his veins that doesn't need spygate to win it all. Having a decent defense sure helps as well. And the Pats are always up there in total defense. Wonder what's holding them back?

It is amazing how folks continue to discredit NE Patriots organization because they got to the SuperBowl 2 times since SpyGate but haven’t won. It is ridiculous. They are in the playoffs every year. They lost 2 very close SuperBowls that could have gone either way. It wasn’t as if we blew them out contrary to what some folks want to play it up as.

NE Patriots are one of the most successful professional sports franchises over the past decade and a half. They are consistent and continue to be competitive every single year. Folks cry about their schedule but heck, we blew a game against Philly and then our D line collapsed against a rookie QB because they had nightmares about him.

Our lack of consistency and focus and NE Patriots commitment to those principles is why NY Giants will be watching Conference Championships this Sunday while NE Patriots will be playing in them.

I'm not sure if the Patriots are any fun. They've never been fun these last few years. The worse thing about trash talking and losing is getting trash talked before the game, losing, and getting more trash talked after the game and that's basically what Patriots have been running to these past few years. And if your version of fun is running up the scores against opponents, and winning at all costs by spying, then you're welcome to it.

Put a good defense against them and you'll get 0 Super Bowls in 8 years although virtually making the playoffs every year.

Dude, they're beaten by an NFC team once every 2 years, on average. Take out the Giants and it's once every 3.3 years. Granted they play 4 NFC teams per year (plus one if they make the SB, which they've done 5 times). But still that's a .86 winning percentage, impressive in any niche stat.

Over the course of 46 SuperBowls, NFC has won 25 and AFC has won 21, hardly an overwhelming advantage.

How did we do against the AFC this year?

We beat Cleveland.

We lost to Pittsburgh Steelers. In fact, on a clean hit that was a nonsense call, Ryan Clark left such an impression on Victor Cruz that he was short arming it for a few games after that.

Cincinatti Bengals did whatever they wanted to us. They bullied and manhandalled us.

Baltimore Ravens stomped a hole in our chests in a game we desperately needed to win for playoff chances.

Everybody concedes the Ravens were a better team in 2000. If you won all 16 games in the regular season, I don't think you can argue which team was the best.

How many fans outside of the Patriots fans wanted them to win? I'd say not a lot, and that says a lot esp even if teams both from your division and other AFC teams were rooting against the Patriots. The Spygate, running up the scores and cutting a player before the Super Bowl put a sinister angle to it. The other 3 wins tainted with Spygate esp the one against the Rams. And why the heck did the tapes get destroyed? Someone explain that to me.

It isn't easy to make it to the play-offs, but these guys consistently make it to the championship game.

Yeah, and they have not won the Super Bowl in 8 years even with their frequency of making it to the playoffs. I would say that stat is NOT impressive! Would you rather have gone to virtually every playoffs and not win one or to not make every playoffs and win 2? We definitely played better those 2 times and people were pulling for us outside of the Giants fans. I would not know what would have happened if they knew every single one of our plays like they did the Rams when they videotaped the walkthrough. I doubt we had a chance then, those were very close games to give someone unfair advantage. And if you get penalized for it, which they did and the most severe at that time, that meant you did something illegal. The actual term is CHEATING! Ask Lance Armstrong for its definition. And don't you think it's fishy that the tapes were destroyed? For what valid reason would you choose to destroy the tapes? I only know of the obvious one -- it's damning and incriminating! Am I impressed about those 8 years they kept making the playoffs but never winning one? Not really cuz I'm not sure if I respect the way they've competed. Yeah, Lance Armstrong was found doping on his 7 tour de France wins, should I be impressed that in 2009 he finished 3rd without supposedly doping? I don't think so!

I'd say you should be proud and impressed with the Giants more. Against all odds, they won us those 2 Super Bowls FAIR and SQUARE! And if this argument happened on Feb 4, 2012, I bet you have a different opinion. Hey, it stinks we did not make the playoffs this year, or every freaking other year people have been complaining but at the end of the day, we have 2 Super Bowls to show these last four years! I'd say quit envying the competition which is flawed anyway and could not show you any Super Bowl in the last 8 years.

I have this odd feeling it will be San Fran. I think they'll get past Atlanta and when they face Brady they have the blueplans laid out by us. Rush Brady like a madman. I don't want to see it but that is my gut feeling. Of course this all depends on if New England beats the Ravens and my previous prediction comes true.

The recent blueprint is to hope that Wes Welker drops the game ending catch and I don’t think that will happen again. I also don;t think that Colin Kapernick will be able to keep Tom Brady on the sidelines by controlling TOP for almost 38 minutes like Eli Manning did.

The bigger difference, is not the turnover but how often they play their 53 man roster.

Our motto is "Next Man Up" for when one goes down ... their motto is "Next Man Up ... on Second Down".

tell that to our coaching staff who won't take a starter off the field unless he's mortally wounded.....
by the end of the 1st half of the season the injured starters are worse off and the rest are gassed due to
lack of rotation.....which is double jeopardy because that lack of rotation is responsible for lack of experience
for the back-ups and it destroys the 2nd half of the season......which is why we always have
the 2nd half "swoon" every year. this system leaves the starters tired and wounded and the back-ups inexperienced.
this is one of this coaching staffs biggest drawbacks......they are horrible at player distribution / rotation.

they ride their thoroughbreds into the ground while the yearlings remain unbroken and untrained.
why have a 53 man roster and only use 40 of them......

and its not the "giants way".... it's the ****ing Coughlin way.

They also play in a division that almost guarantees them 6 wins a season. After 2007 they had not one a playoff game until last year and then they lost the Super Bowl again. It's nice to be consistently in the playoffs, but the Giants have had a better 5 year span.this.... Plus to me the AFC As a whole over past decade has been pretty weak.

The Giants have won 2 Superbowls in the time since the Pats won their last 9 years ago. That's better overall success.Overall success? How about 3 Super Bowls in this century? That's better overall success.

What about wins in general, playoff wins, playoff appearances, drafting, team management, etc. Should we just reduce it all to the overly simplistic view of Super Bowls in an amount of time that suits our argument? Pleeeeease.

not taking anything away from BB, but let's please give a little credit to having the greatest QB who has every played the game, or at least a QB that will be considered in that conversation.

So yes, BB and the whole organization has done a great job, but it helps just a little bit to have a guy like brady.Definitely helps to have the greatest QB in league history, but let's keep in mind that they stole him in the sixth round, and although you can't chalk that up to skill, their ability to move on from Bledsoe might not have happened if it were the Giants. We'd have probably kept Bledsoe for years after that!

What about wins in general, playoff wins, playoff appearances, drafting, team management, etc. Should we just reduce it all to the overly simplistic view of Super Bowls in an amount of time that suits our argument? Pleeeeease.You used the Giants missing the playoffs 3 out of the last 4 years as being less successful as of late compared to NE. We've won two SB's in the last 5 years. That's better overall success in that time period than them making the playoffs, but having nothing to show for it. That's what I'm getting at here.

Both franchises are run very well but the only thing that separates NE from NY is that NE doesn't give out the "loyal" card. If your slowing down your outta New England. In NY, if your slowing a down your given one too many chances until it's quite obvious the player is done, thus making a franchise inconsistent.

They may be more consistent during the regular season but since spy gate they have not won a Championship.

Yeah, please don't mistake consistency as synonymous to wining Super Bowls or regular sesson records as the ultimate prize. I'm just glad we got the Patriots last year, instead of the Ravens. That defense looks so daunting. And I'm glad it's going to be the Niners problem. Lol!

I probably won't care as much about the pats once Brady is gone. If Ryan Mallett wins a super bowl the year after Brady retires, I would LOVE it, at least as long as it wasn't against us.

01-20-2013, 10:29 PM

the Pats don't pay alot for their players. BB basically comes along and cues them in on championships and not money. welker, and gronk are their anchors around TB. but the RB ridley was new and they also will pickup someone off of FA when they need to fill in a piece of the puzzle.

they are without a doubt one of the best organizations in terms of building a team that meshes. I'm tired of seeing them yr after yr but you gotta admit, they have a great plan and it works now for over a decade. I'm kinda curious what will happen to them when TB retires? will they regress as the Pats of old?

time will tell

From the Patriots Message Board after the game:

"Just copy the Giants and draft a pass rusher every year until you hit on a couple that will put consistent pressure on most (if not all) QBs.

That is the best way to hide a weak secondary."

So I guess we are a model. LOL! If those pash rushers could have shown up this season.

How about this one? LOL!

"well.......doen't help to have near 20M tied up on a QB.......the other 3 final 4 teams don't have that and have more to spend in other places.

sorry, attitude reflect leadership, and and the leadership was scared today.......when that happens, there must be an option in place to replace the leadership......somehow, the pats need to develop their next QB

fact is that the pats are getting everything they can out of the make up of this roster.

it's not bad to have a consistent playoff team...I mean you can't get to the SB unless you make the playoffs, but that's what it seems like they have......a soft team much like the colts were under dungy.....

part of the problem is the division........the pats go 6-0 vs the division, they only need to 6-4 against the rest of the leagu eand they can get home field through the playoffs.....except now the ravens thing gillette is their house"

Sounds familiar? Same thing people complain here, the Patriots fans complain. And they do acknowledge the weak division. LOL!

Also, I don’t know where this “they play against AFC so it is easier” mentality comes from. The AFC has won 9 of the last 15 SuperBowls.

Over the course of 46 SuperBowls, NFC has won 25 and AFC has won 21, hardly an overwhelming advantage.

How did we do against the AFC this year?

We beat Cleveland.

We lost to Pittsburgh Steelers. In fact, on a clean hit that was a nonsense call, Ryan Clark left such an impression on Victor Cruz that he was short arming it for a few games after that.

Cincinatti Bengals did whatever they wanted to us. They bullied and manhandalled us.

Baltimore Ravens stomped a hole in our chests in a game we desperately needed to win for playoff chances.

Seems to me that we really didn’t stack up too well against the “weak” AFC this season.
You likely know that most are referring to the very weak AFC East and that the Pats usually win 5 or 6 of those games every year.

NE Patriots won 3 out of 4 against NFC East in 2011. That was just as many wins in 2 games less in our division than we had against our own division that year. Not only do they dominate their own division but they dominate ours, which is something we can’t do.

We made the playoffs at 9-7.

NE Patriots win so much because they have focus and are coached very well. They do not have the problems we do. Their players don’t have public conferences about how they are terrfied about a rookie QB they are facing and the nightmares they have about him, etc........ etc.......... etc......... etc....

The schedule is the schedule. If their compettition was so weak in AFC East and that was the reason they have success and make playoffs then how the heck do they keep beating teams outside their division to make Championship Games and SuperBowls? How the heck do they achieve year in and year out?

NY Giants and NE Patriots are both great organizations. Whereas we come out of nowhere and surprise folks, they are consistent. It is just a preference of what one likes better. Hopwever, I am not going to demean their organization like so many others do just to feel better about the fact that we didn’t even make the playoffs this year.

I know exactly what folks are referring to. However, if the secret to their success is playing in the weak AFC East then how the heck do they beat the rest of AFC in post season and make it to AFC Champioship Games and SuperBowls?
